but why would you want to go that fast?

Because he is a Kriminal.

Pay what ever it costs you test your top speed at your local track.

Its a lot safer and will prevent you making the news WHEN not if you get busted.

"Yet another Skyline clocking 200km/h"

Its not some thing we really want to hear.

Now that you have reworded the origional post. :cheers:

That really depends on how much power and rev's you have.

I would say 240-250-260km/h is within reach.

My little old VS Commodore 5 speed with a few mild mods used to only 'just' crack 250km/h so no doubt a mild RB25 which makes around 380hp will be able to crack it also. Depends if you run out of rev's.

Do the Math. :D

The standard soft limit is fifth gear at 5000rpm. at that speed you are doing approx 190kph

If you divide by 5000 and then times it by the redline (7200), you get 273.6kph.

Didnt you learn about ratios in school?

The standard soft limit is fifth gear at 5000rpm.

Soft limit? What's that then? Haven't heard that expression before.

so at 8krpm you'd be nudging just over 300km/h? Must try that out!! (Private closed race track of course. :cheers:

You don't even need 250hp to crack 250km/h.

haha.. Come on buddy.. This is a VS 5ltr Slugger Commodore we are talking about. :P

250km/h is a fair speed, most new cars even the ones making 250hp at the fly would be pushed to get 250km/h.

I was actually referring to the bit where you said "no doubt a mild RB25 which makes around 380hp will be able to crack it also."

...and im saying you dont even need 250hp to crack 250km/h (and you dont even need 7,000+ rpm).

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
